Galerie Krinzinger

Galerie Krinzinger - Contemporary Art Gallery Galerie Krinzinger (Instagram: ) was founded in 1971 by art-historian Dr. Ursula Krinzinger.

Since then, she has organized at least 500 exhibitions of national and international artists, mounting solo, group and thematic shows. The main interest and source of the gallery program stems, on the one hand, from international performance and body related art (Marina Abramovic since 1975, Chris Burden since 1992), on the other hand, from Viennese actionism (Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Günter Brus, He

rmann Nitsch, Otto Muehl since 1975). Additionally, the gallery has been working with national and international artists such as Jonathan Meese, Gavin Turk, Eva Schlegel, Mark Wallinger, Thomas Zipp and others for over forty-five years. The latest additions to the gallery program result from Ursula Krinzinger’s research in Asia and the Middle East (Kader Attia, Waqas Khan, Maha Malluh, Sudarshan Shetty, Zhang Ding). This thematic focus has been consequently present since 12 years. Besides the gallery program, Ursula Krinzinger organizes and curates exhibitions in various spaces outside the gallery, including the gallery's second space: Krinzinger Schottenfeld, which was founded in 2002 as Krinzinger Projekte. Internationally orientated, group and topic exhibitions define the program, which quickly earned an international reputation. Housed in a separate building, Krinzinger Schottenfeld joins Galerie Krinzinger in inviting young national and international artists to take part in the gallery’s artist-in-residence program, which currently includes destinations in Austria, Croatia, Hungary and Sri Lanka. For more than forty-five years, Galerie Krinzinger has regularly participated in the world's most important art fairs, among them: Art Basel, Arco Madrid, The Armory Show New York, Art Dubai, FIAC, Frieze London, Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Düsseldorf, Art Basel Miami.

Revealed at in Basel today!
As part of Basel Exclusive, we are pleased to present Hans Op de Beeck ‚Cécile‘ unveiled today during the opening of the fair.

‚Cécile‘ is a sculpture of an elegant young woman who radiates calmness, self-confidence and dignity, but also a certain distance. There is something reserved and secretive in her gaze and body language. Her look is not cheerful but lost in thought and contemplative: her inner world remains mysterious.

The young fallow deer adds a soft, vulnerable dimension and almost feels like a psychological mirror of the figure. Because the character’s hand rests upon it, there appears to be mutual trust or an inner dialogue. The animal can be interpreted as a representation of instinct, memory, youth, protection, or even an alter ego.

The character’s 1950s dress, long gloves, and Chesterfield style chaise longue evoke a cultural setting of a certain etiquette: she seems to find herself in the lobby of, for example, an opera house or a collector’s stately mansion.

‚Cécile‘ is an enigmatic character whose personal story we are left to guess.

We are happy to inform you about the following exhibition:

MOHAMED BOUROUISSA „Pour Noubia“

MIGROS MUSEUM FÜR GEGENWARTSKUNST

Löwenbräukunst
Limmatstrasse 270
CH-8005 Zürich

Duration: June 13 - September 6, 2026

https://migrosmuseum.ch/ausstellungen/mohamed-bourouissa #&gid=1&pid=1

Mohamed Bourouissa is a portraitist of our time. Through his work, he tells the stories of people—not those who already stand in the spotlight of the media, politics, art, and history, but rather ordinary individuals whose biographies speak of exclusion, invisibility, courage, and new perspectives.

In his first solo exhibition in Switzerland, Bourouissa invites audiences on a journey: from Blida in Algeria, where he was born, through the Parisian banlieues where he lives today, to Osnabrück in Germany, where the eventful life of his aunt Noubia came to an end. Films, objects, AI-generated animations, and photographs: each exhibition space brings together groups of works that represent a stage of this journey, embedding them within an immersive spatial experience.

The works are at times documentary, at times fictional, yet they are always rooted in lived experience. They draw on the life of Bourouissa and the lives of those close to him: friends and acquaintances, a long-term patient at the psychiatric hospital in Blida, members of his family, and people from his wider community. At the center stands Noubia Meyer, his aunt, who migrated from Blida to Germany as a s*x worker and bequeathed her photographic archive to Bourouissa. Pour Noubia is a tribute to her—and to all those whose lives rarely find a place within the grand narratives of our time.

Curated by Yasmin Naderi Afschar with Mirta Gianocca and Pauline Herrmann.

SUDARSHAN SHETTY
A Breath Held Long

at Ludwig Museum Koblenz
Esther-Bejarano-Straße 1
56068 Koblenz, Germany

Opening: June 11, 2026, 6 PM

Duration: June 12 – August 16, 2026

Sudarshan Shetty (born 1961 in Mangalore, India) is one of India’s most important contemporary artists. In sculptures, installations, and cross-media works, he explores existential themes such as transience, memory, labor, and spirituality. His often mechanically animated works are characteristic, transforming everyday objects into poetic symbols of time, ritual, and the cycles of life. Shetty combines traditional Indian imagery with a reduced, contemporary formal language.

The exhibition is divided into two parts and is centered around the film A Breath Held Long, in which Sudarshan Shetty explores life in Mumbai in a compelling and poetic way. City, urbanity, and the rhythm of life are interwoven. The 20-to 25-minute video is accompanied by objects based on nine to ten texts by the artist, some autobiographical, some fictional, reflecting various facets of urban life. Three new sculptural ensembles complement the presentation and symbolically encapsulate life in the city.

The exhibition is supported by the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation, Aachen.
With the kind support of KAHLA Porcelain Manufactory.

We are pleased to inform you of the current exhibition „Hermann Nitsch. 1960-1965“ at on view until July 5, 2026.

Born on August 29, 1936, in Vienna, Hermann Nitsch developed his early artistic ideas in response to his childhood experiences during World War II. Deeply influenced by the intensity of these memories, he began exploring religious rituals and symbolic forms of expression in the 1950s.

Nitsch became a key member of the Vienna Actionists, alongside Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. Each artist pursued a radical and confrontational approach to art, challenging social norms and the boundaries of artistic practice.

During this early period, Nitsch began developing his theatrical concepts and experimented with pouring predominantly red paint onto canvases, works he referred to as Schüttbilder. These paintings became an essential component of his broader action theatre.

„I understood this painting, in which the audience were also drawn in, as a litany-like, performative sequence expressed through painting within my theatre. My action painting is the visual grammar of my action theatre on a canvas.“ (1964)

1. Hermann Nitsch „Schüttstein“. 1984-91. Lithography on paper. 14/40. 132 x 80cm.
2. Hermann Nitsch „Untitled (5)“. 2019. Terragraph on canvas. 44/48. 89 x 71cm.
3. Hermann Nitsch „o.T. (Jahn Mappe II)“. 1984-1989. Etching. Probedruck. 70 x 58cm.

Wir freuen uns, Sie auf folgende Veranstaltungen hinweisen zu dürfen:

DIE SAMMLUNG ALS AUSSTELLUNG

Eröffnung: 20. Mai, 19 – 22 Uhr, Schottenfeldgasse 45, 1070 Wien

Podiumsdiskussion zur Zukunft des Sammelns: 21. Mai, 19 Uhr

Finissage: 29. Mai 18 – 22 Uhr

Öffnungszeiten: Mo – Fr, 10 – 18 Uhr

Was in Österreich an Kunst gesammelt wird, bleibt oft im Verborgenen. Ab Mai wird sich dies ändern: 14 österreichische Sammlerinnen zeitgenössischer Kunst treten mit ihren Sammlungen erstmals gemeinsam an die Öffentlichkeit. Vom 20. bis 29. Mai 2026 geben sie in der Schau „Die Sammlung als Ausstellung“ in den Räumen der Galerie KRINZINGER SCHOTTENFELD Einblick in einen Teil ihrer Sammlungen. Gezeigt werden einerseits Arbeiten international renommierter Künstlerinnen (wie Christian Eisenberger, Karl Ikade, Asger Jorn, Martha Jungwirth, Elke Silvia Krystufek, Hermann Nitsch, Arnulf Rainer u.v.a.). Andererseits präsentieren sie Werke wieder neu zu entdeckender Künstler:innen (wie Marcel Houf, Michael Vonbank oder Adam Wiener etc.) sowie Arbeiten von Newcomer:innen (wie Violetta Ehnsperg, Arno Jungreithmair, Amiko Kalandadze, Ol’ga Pastéková, Oksana Zmiyevska und viele weitere).

Mehr als 200 Werke aus den 14 Sammlungen treten erstmals in einen gemeinsamen Dialog. Die Ausstellung versteht sich weniger als Überblick über die einzelnen Sammlungen, sondern vielmehr als Statement darüber, wie vielschichtig und unterschiedlich Gegenwartskunst heute gesammelt, gelesen und gelebt wird.

Veranstaltet wird die Ausstellung vom neu gegründeten Verein „ACAC - Austrian Contemporary Art Collectors“, der aus einer privaten Initiative rund um die Sammler Volker Füssel und Andreas Schlichtner hervorgegangen ist. Die Initiative hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Sammlerinnen zu vernetzen und zeitgenössische Kunst und Künstlerinnen durch ihre Sammler- und Ausstellungstätigkeit zu fördern. Mittlerweile zählt die Initiative rund 40 private Sammlerinnen mit insgesamt rund 30.000 nationalen und internationalen Positionen zeitgenössischer Kunst.

A.rtificial I.ntrospection O.

WALTER PICHLER
RUDOLF POLANSZKY

at HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark
Burgring 2, 8010 Graz

Opening May 19, 2026 6 – 9 PM
Duration: May 20 – September 6, 2026

The exhibition A.rtificial I.ntrospection O. (A.I.O.) explores questions of thought, perception, and subjectivity at the intersection of introspection, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence.
Its point of departure is the work of the Austrian writer, cognitive psychologist, and cybernetician Oswald Wiener (1935 - 2021), whose genuine thinking since the 1950s critically navigated between these fields while systematically resisting institutional appropriation.

Curators: Sandro Droschl with Franca Zitta

Curatorial consultation, Estate of Oswald Wiener: Thomas Eder, Thomas Raab

Cooperation: Franz Nabl Institute for Literary Research / Literaturhaus Graz: Klaus Kastberger, Daniela Bartens
